I'm trying to compare original Canon OEM ink vs Inktec compatible ink for IP3500 (bulk C908).
And I have very bad result with Inktec.
Here is Canon OEM ink:

And here is Inktec compatible ink:

Both are printed with Canon IP3500 using the same photo paper & printing options with Auto Color Setting (default).
Canon has deeper color. Inktec print is very yellowish.
The pool on the other side tends to be yellowish/greenish (vs bluish on Canon ink).
The boy face on Inktec print looks like he's suffering a yellow fever (vs more natural skintone on Canon print....a little magenta cast actually , but still look more natural when you look at the photo directly)
On other prints, like building, trees, garden or other objects, Inktec inks looks more acceptable, since the difference in color cast in those objects doesn't completely ruin the whole photo.
But for portrait prints where the skintone is the major focus, the default Inktec color is very unacceptable. Even the pool looks greenish instead of bluish.
Is this expected on Inktec ?
Any comment ?
